Even Babe’s 43d Homer And Bodie’s Circus Catch Fail to Win for Yankees @ Indians’ Timely Hitting En- ables Them to Capture Final Game of Series Here. Babe Ruth, driving his forty-third home run of the season over the right field stand, together with the clreys catch that Ping Bodie contributed in the seventh inning, robbing Jamieson of @ three-base hit, were not quite sufficient to offset the great game o1 ball that “Slim” Caldwell pitched against his former teammates and the timely hitting of Tris Speaker's In- dians at opportune moments, resulting in the Hugmen dropping the final game of the Cleveland series to the Indians by the score of 3 to 2. Bob Shawkey, who did the pitching for the home team, twirled a game that under ordinary conditions would have returned him a winner, as he held the Indians to seven hita, These seven hits, however, ‘enabled the visi- tors to drive three runs across the rubber, one more than the Yanks were able to collect on their five hits gathered off Caldwell, In the ond inning Steve O'Neill lanted a bunt down vhe third base ine, throwing his bat with the bali travelled down toward third, The unsportsmaniike tactica indulged in by the visiting backstop prevented Shawkey flelding the ball as he dodged the bat. Muddy Ruel's recovery was not quick enough to get the batter at first. The Yanks logically protested Umpire Connolly's decision in granting O'Neill his base, 4a he interfered with the fielding of the ball, a protest Connolly obstinately overruled. In the controversy that followed Manager Huggins was ban- ished from the grounds and Connolly was soundly hooted by the 18,000 spoc- tators. During the Cleveland series Connol- ly's umpiring has been anything but satisfactory, In Wednesday's game he caved a ball on Iirst Baseman Johnston that he had deliberately latruck at, The Yankee players car- ried their protest to Umpire Nallin, who was umpiring bases and ho re- versed the decision, calling it a strike, ‘The Cleveland pezere, in particular have shown thelr disapproval of his umpiring throughout the three games, and the hasty decision in sending Miller Huggins to the club house was a typical manifestation of his faulty judgment, Whon Huggins received tho signal that he must depart from the soeno, he turned around and proceed- ed to the olub house, This made the hit. of the afternoon with the fans and they gave him a rousing ovation as he made his way to the showers, while Connolly was the target of hoota and catcalls the rest of the af- ternoon, ¢ In the ninth inning the same task confronted the Slugging Clan of Hug- men that they overcame the day pre- vious. Tralling their adversaries by one run, Pratt was the first man to bat. He shot a wicked grounder to Larry Gardner and was retired at first. Duffy Lewis, who singled the day before, flied out to centre fleld, while Wally Pipp, the hero in the thrilling game that preceded this one, took three graceful awings at the cool orone. In the first Inning Shawkey could not locate the plate and Graney walked. Wambsganss laid a neat bunt down the third base foul line that Aaron Ward whipped over to Pipp in time to retire the batter at first, send- ing Graney to second, Jamieson fol- lowed with a three-bagger to the right fleld signboard, sending Graney home with Cleveland's first run. Smith, the Indians’ Demon Slugger, waa retired on an infield hit to Pratt, Jamieson going home on the play to first. Gardner struck out. Babe Ruth started the scoring for the Hugmen in the fourth, In his eagerness to connect with one of Slim Caldwell's slants he lost his range ‘and fell at the completion of a wicked swing. The next attempt was somewhat better, for he fouled one, high over the stand. His next effort Was the true exemplification of the great batter's style in meeting the ball and sending it over the right field stand for a homer. The next three batters. were unable to do anything with Caldwell and were easy outs. In the sixth inning, Smith, the Ln- dian's right Melder, hit one of Shaw- key's awift ones Into the upper tier of the grand stand in right fleld for a home run, giving the league leaders a two run advantage over the home team Caldwell, who had taken a chance with Babe Ruth in the earlier part of the game which resulted #o dis- astrously, allowed him to walk to firet this time. Larry Gardner could not get his hands on Pratt's grounder that took a bad bound and went over his head into left field for a single, sending Ruth to third. On the next play, a8 Wamby was tossing out Dufty Lewis, Babe scored with the second and last run that the Yankees could gather from the effective pitching of thetr old teammate, Frank "Home Run” Baker wan an interested’ spectator. The Trappe farmer came hore at the request of the Yankeo owners, who are anxious to get the former home run king Into thelr fold again, It {s doubtful, how- ever, tf the hard-hitting third’ base- man will play this season, according to his own announcement, for his duties at home stil] prevent him from leaving Maryland, It would not be surprising to find that the Yanks might obtain his services for next season, but it is certain he has no tn- tention of playing this year.
